Mt. Vernon is advancing to the girls basketball State Finals for the first time in 35 years, as the Marauders beat Madison 70-54 today to win the IHSAA 3A Southport semistate title.
MV had another great start, holding a team to one field goal in the first quarter and building a double-digit lead for the third straight game. MV led 14-3 after a quarter and pushed it to 35-17 by halftime. Jessica Brown got the Marauders started, scoring 12 points in the opening eight minutes and finishing with 25 -- also helping MV salt the game away in the fourth with nine points in the final stanza.
Rachel Houck was the run-killer for MV. She hit five 3-pointers and scored 17 points, and nearly every one in the second half seemed to come as Madison was threatening to make a comeback. The Cubs cut MV's lead to 37-24 in the third, and the Marauders responded with six straight points. Madison got as close as 63-54 in the final two minutes, but MV put it away at the line.
Erica Moore also had a strong game, scoring 12 points. Makenzi Reasor, Anna Olson and Kelsie Owens also had big plays at big moments. Owens hit two crucial 3-pointers -- MV hit eight in total -- and Olson quarterbacked the Marauders' defense.
Kelsey Block had a big offensive game for Madison, scoring 21 points. Cadie Polivari added 10 off the bench, including 8-of-12 from the line.
As a result, MV (23-5) earned a berth to the State Finals, where the second-ranked Marauders will face No. 7 Fort Wayne Concordia, which beat Western 46-35 today to win the Warsaw semistate. Concordia is 20-5, having knocked off Hamilton Heights and #3 NorthWood to win the regional last week. The Cadets, coached by ninth-year bench boss David Miller, defeated Rushville in the State Finals to win the 3A title in 2010.
The MV-Concordia game will be at 6 p.m. Saturday. Join our crew at HancockCountySports.com for the worldwide broadcast beginning at 5:30 p.m.

Marauders win regional title
Second verse, same as the first.
In the morning semifinal, Mt. Vernon held Lebanon without a field goal for the first 7:50 en route to building a double-digit first-quarter lead and cruising to a 20-point victory. In the second game, the Marauders had a similar start, jumping ahead of No. 10 Edgewood and holding the Mustangs without a field goal for the entire first quarter en route to a 56-38 victory.
MV led Edgewood 15-2 after a quarter, built it to 30-15 by halftime despite batting foul trouble, and continued to extend the lead through the rest of the game.
The Marauders won their first regional championship since 2005 and improved to 22-5 on the season. All five of their tournament victories have been by at least 20 points.
Jessica Brown led MV with 17 points, while Rachel Houck added 16 -- 34 for the day -- and Makenzi Reasor scored 12.
The Marauders will play Madison (18-7) in next week's semistate. The time & location will be announced Sunday. We will pass it along as soon as we know it, and we'll broadcast the game live at HancockCountySports.com!

Marauders win sectional 77-32
Mt. Vernon showed why it's the second-ranked team in Class 3A tonight, outscoring Chatard 77-32 in the sectional championship game at Arlington High School.
The Marauders were suffocating on defense, forcing several steals & deflections and turning them into fast-break points.
MV trailed 5-4 early, but then went on a sizeable run that never seemed to stop. The Marauders finished the first quarter with a 15-2 spurt that put them up 19-7 after one, then started the second on a 12-2 run that saw the lead pushed to 31-9.
Sophomore forward Erica Moore had 18 of her game-high 24 points in the first half, and when she scored her 24th point, she had as many as the opposing team.
Jessica Brown then had a big second half, scoring 13 of her 19 points as MV extended a 39-16 halftime lead and turned it into a 59-24 edge by the end of the third quarter. MV scored at least 18 points in each quarter, and held Chatard to single-digits in each.
Four Marauders scored in double-figures, as Makenzi Reasor added 11 points and Rachel Houck 10.
The Marauders are now 20-5 on the season, and have won county, conference and sectional championships. They'll play in the Lebanon regional next week, facing the host Tigers in the 10 a.m. first semifinal. Lebanon beat No. 8 Western Boone 68-61 in the sectional title game at WeBo. The second semifinal will feature Tri-West and No. 10 Edgewood. TW beat Indian Creek 75-70 in OT at Beech Grove, while Edgewood beat Brown County 56-48 at Owen Valley. The championship game will be at 7 p.m.
All of the Marauders' games the rest of the tournament will be LIVE at HancockCountySports.com the rest of the way!

GBB pairings
The girls basketball pairings are currently being drawn. We'll pass along the pairings for the Hancock County sectionals as soon as we get them.
The schedule:
Tuesday, Feb. 7: Sectional 1st round (also Wednesday 2/8 for 7-8 team sectionals)
Friday, Feb. 10: Sectional semifinal
Saturday, Feb. 11: Sectional finals
Saturday, Feb. 18: Regionals, 10/11:30 semis, 8 p.m. final
Saturday, Feb. 25: Semistates, TBA
Saturday, March 3: State Finals at Hulman Center, Terre Haute (1A-10:30, 2A-1:30, 3A-6:30, 4A-8:30)
Class 4A sectional at Greenfield-Central
Tuesday, Feb. 7
Pendleton Hts. (13-7) vs. Greenfield-C. (12-6), 6 p.m.
Anderson (15-4) vs. Connersville (13-7), 7:30 p.m.
Friday, Feb. 10
Richmond (12-7) vs. PH/G-C winner, 6 p.m.
New Castle (5-14) vs. Anderson/Connersville winner, 7:30 p.m.
Saturday, Feb. 11
Championship, 7:30 p.m.
Analysis: G-C fell to PH in a close game in November, but both teams have changed a lot since then. A tough 2nd-round matchup with Richmond awaits, but the Cougars were able to handle the Red Devils earlier in December. Anderson has a tough draw, but the Indians had a very big win vs. Mt. Vernon earlier this year and are 4-0 against sectional foes. Anderson beat Connersville in OT on Jan. 17. Minus the bye, this is a pretty solid draw for G-C -- or at least the G-C/PH winner. Both pretty solid teams with a great first-round matchup.
Class 4A sectional at Franklin
Tuesday, Feb. 7
Franklin Central (11-7) vs. Center Grove (8-11), 6 p.m.
New Palestine (10-10) vs. Whiteland (6-14), 7:30 p.m.
Friday, Feb. 10
Greenwood (16-2) vs. FC/CG winner, 6 p.m.
Franklin (10-9) vs. NP/Whiteland winner, 7:30 p.m.
Saturday, Feb. 11
Championship, 7:30 p.m.
Regional (BNL): Franklin vs. Columbus N.; Seymour vs. Evansville
Analysis: This might be the most balanced sectional in the state. Greenwood, at 16-2, is a clear favorite, but the Woodmen are not invulnerable. Both losses were to sectional foes -- Center Grove and Whiteland. FC is a perfect 4-0 vs. the sectional and has had a great season against one of the state's strongest schedules. Meanwhile, New Palestine meets the team rated sixth in the sectional, but Whiteland is very solid. The Warriors live and die by the 3-point shot, which has allowed them to post some big wins (Greenwood) and some puzzling losses (Shelbyville). NP and Franklin played a great game on the sectional floor in December. Matter of fact, all of the Dragons' games against sectional teams were great ones -- the only one decided by more than four points was a 62-50 loss to Greenwood that was close until NP had to start fouling late.
Class 3A sectional at Arlington
Tuesday, Feb. 7
Brebeuf (7-11) vs. #2 Mt. Vernon (17-3), 6 p.m.
Chatard (8-11) vs. Arlington (1-16), 7:30 p.m.
Friday, Feb. 10
Howe (5-13) vs. Brebeuf/MV winner, 6 p.m.
Guerin (13-7) vs. Chatard/Arlington winner, 7:30 p.m.
Saturday, Feb. 11
Championship, 7 p.m.
Analysis: After years of being routed through brutal sectionals often featuring #1 or #2-ranked teams, the Marauders are the top dog in this sectional, as Sagarin has MV rated 25 points better than the rest of the field -- the second-team in the Sagarin ratings is first-round foe Brebeuf -- and only one other team, Guerin Catholic, has a winning record. Brebeuf has been down -- for them -- in recent years, but is still dangerous. Guerin is a dangerous team in a potential title-game matchup.
Class 2A sectional at Cambridge City Lincoln
Tuesday, Feb. 7
Eastern Hancock (12-6) vs. Hagerstown (18-2), 7 p.m.
Wednesday, Feb. 8
Centerville (13-6) vs. Cambridge City Lincoln (7-10), 6 p.m.
Knightstown (13-6) vs. Union County (3-15), 7:30 p.m.
Friday, Feb. 10
Northeastern (6-12) vs. EH-Hagerstown winner, 6 p.m.
Wednesday winners, 7:30 p.m.
Saturday, Feb. 11
Championship, 7:30 p.m.
Analysis: The Royals get a tough first-round draw, as Chris Oliger's Tigers have been playing some good basketball. The winner will be favored to play in the sectional final, as 6-12 Northeastern drew the bye. In the bottom bracket, Centerville -- whom the Royals will host Monday night -- is a solid team, and will be a good end-of-season matchup for the Royals. Knightstown has played some strong basketball. Hagerstown is 7-0 against sectional foes, EH is 3-1, Centerville 5-2. Knightstown has a strong, balanced team. The Royals are in the mist of their best season in nearly a decade under first-year coach Jeremy Powers, and they are young, so this could be the start of a run for them.
The schedule:
Tuesday, Feb. 7: Sectional 1st round (also Wednesday 2/8 for 7-8 team sectionals)
Friday, Feb. 10: Sectional semifinal
Saturday, Feb. 11: Sectional finals
Saturday, Feb. 18: Regionals, 10/11:30 semis, 8 p.m. final
Saturday, Feb. 25: Semistates, TBA
Saturday, March 3: State Finals at Hulman Center, Terre Haute (1A-10:30, 2A-1:30, 3A-6:30, 4A-8:30)
Class 4A sectional at Greenfield-Central
Tuesday, Feb. 7
Pendleton Hts. (13-7) vs. Greenfield-C. (12-6), 6 p.m.
Anderson (15-4) vs. Connersville (13-7), 7:30 p.m.
Friday, Feb. 10
Richmond (12-7) vs. PH/G-C winner, 6 p.m.
New Castle (5-14) vs. Anderson/Connersville winner, 7:30 p.m.
Saturday, Feb. 11
Championship, 7:30 p.m.
Analysis: G-C fell to PH in a close game in November, but both teams have changed a lot since then. A tough 2nd-round matchup with Richmond awaits, but the Cougars were able to handle the Red Devils earlier in December. Anderson has a tough draw, but the Indians had a very big win vs. Mt.

Both pretty solid teams with a great first-round matchup.

Friday, Feb. 10
Greenwood (16-2) vs. FC/CG winner, 6 p.m.
Franklin (10-9) vs. NP/Whiteland winner, 7:30 p.m.
